Sports/games suggestions!

First, a quick introduction: my name is Nathanael Brunner, and I'm one of the people who "might be attending" the Rendezvous...if I go, it will be my first time, so most of you have no idea who I am. ;-) Of course, it's probably better that you don't...

Anyway, on to business: we are currently taking suggestions for any sport/game/activity you would like to play during the Rendezvous. Some possibilities have already been mentioned, but feel free to mention anything at all you'd be interested in...within the realms of practicality and sanity. (So sorry, but no blindfolded bungee jumping.) Also, please suggest as many as you want - Top 100 lists would be ideal. ;-)

ECD Saturday Night

Heyyyy yawl!

Raquelle and I are looking forward to being your dance callers at the dance on Saturday night!

The dance will be western-themed so bring your buckskin shirts and cowboy hats! Just PLEASE take your spurs off before dancing. LOL

Raquelle and I will be planning the dance list this summer. We already know it will include group favorites like the Gay Gordon (with Marie’s Wedding music), Irish Washerwoman, and the Physical Snob. If you have any favorites, feel free to post them. We may not be able to include everyone’s favorites, but go ahead and at least let us know!

We’re looking forward to it! See y’all then!
~Heather & Raquelle
